About Mount Allison University
Mount Allison University is one of the top undergraduate universities in Canada. Committed to the undergraduate experience, the University shares a unique style of learning — student-centred, hands-on, community-minded, supportive, and collaborative.
Small by design, Mount Allison University offers opportunities to build one-on-one relationships with professors, connect with fellow students and the local communities in which we are located, and build a strong foundation for wherever life takes you. It all adds up to a university experience that’s truly extraordinary.
Once you come to Mount Allison, you will have hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom that will solidify what you have learned and show you how you can take that into the real world. You will learn in small classrooms, on stages, on playing fields, in forests, on mountaintops, in labs, and everywhere in between. You will be supported by a close-knit community of people that love learning, just like you.A liberal arts and science education doesn’t just prepare you for a career — it prepares you for any career. It gets to the heart of what employers are looking for and what it takes to be successful — knowing how to learn, think, understand, adapt, problem solve, communicate, work with people, and tackle today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
